I love comic books, Transformers, socialism and Warhammer. I paint as well! Mental health advocate and trauma survivor. One of those Rainbow Mafia types that the GOP warned you about. He/They. Trans rights are human rights 💜

I cannot stress enough: the AI bubble has already popped it is just being kept on life support by corporations trying to squeeze even a dollar more out of their shit investment, and tech bros doing the same before abandoning their shit company startups. keep hating on AI, you're winning

Hayden Panettiere was vocal about the abuse she suffered in Hollywood from a young age. Like so many girls before her, she wasn’t protected. Now she’s gone. This is why we keep demanding the release of the Epstein files. The rich & powerful must be held accountable.

I try to only compare myself to my own previous work rather than anyone else's (as you're all so bloody talented). Here's my oldest miniature, a HeroQuest Orc (one of the few possessions that survived The Accident™️) vs the 11th edition Ork. Progress can be slow but it does happen 😊 #nerdlings

An original HeroQuest Orc painted by me in (I believe) early 2019 - the oldest painted mini I have. It's next to the Ork I just painted. In my opinion, you can see that the skill, precision and technique has drastically improved between the two. I'll let you all be the final judge, however.

Had a lot of fun painting this really expressive 11th edition Ork miniature - decided to go for a lighter skin tone than the "standard" but I think it's actually helped really show off the lovely detailing in the design 😁 #nerdlings

The Ork Boyz August 2026 free miniature from GW. Painted by me. Front view.

This afternoon, we welcome our first permanent resident to our trans and non-binary social housing initiative. Their deposit has been covered by the community, and their move-in costs are just the remainder of the 1st months rent. 1/2

We are tired of asking for respect, compassion, and rights from a society that isn't willing to act on our behalf. Our aim is to reduce the reliance on society for our well-being so that we are able to insulate the community from undue hardship.

Just sitting in my feelings and remembering another fantastic TFNation. I can be awkward and borderline non-verbal when in large, unfamiliar groups so thank you to @jakelab.bsky.social for creating a really welcoming environment in the bar and I got to meet so many, fun & thoughtful people 😊

can this finally be the end of people pretending Helen Lewis has ever said anything of value she’s a transphobe and a racist and no amount of anti-Trump “feminist” pieces will ever absolve her of the violence she has directly and indirectly contributed to

Very interesting that @privateeyenews.bsky.social has deleted the videos of @helenlewis.bsky.social laughing at Jason Arday. I wonder why.

1/2 The new X-Men cast confused me slightly; Emma and Scott seemed to be of an age but everyone else was about 7. I was concerned & wondering what they were planning on adapting & had to stop myself. They're likely not focussed on comic adaptations (that's what 97 is for) - this is something else.

It's the same attitude that says "the plastic in the ocean is your fault for using straws!" when almost half of it is waste product dumped by the fishing industry. Businesses and politicians cause a mess but the "strategy" to fix it is always proposed at an individual level. And our responsibility.

My point was more that our government have been intentionally making the climate crisis worse to help corporate profits and, now we're at a crisis point, they're trying to pass the responsibility onto us and claim it's individual behaviours like using BBQs that are solely to blame for the wildfires
